ThinkPad T14 Gen 5

Precisely this! When I ordered my T14G5 it was around $4000 with the options selected. Granted I'm still using it for the foreseeable future, I made a configuration with the major options I "need" (Ultra 7, OLED, 64GB Ram) and it clocked just under $5100 Canadian. I'll wait until I can get it discou

The advantage of the T480 vs the 14 inch models coming after it is the external battery and the two SODIMM slots. Two SODIMM slots will make a brief re-appearance in the T14 Gen 5 / P14s Gen 5, some T14 Gen 6 has them as well and that's it (but of course the LPCAMM2 slot in the Gen 7 is far superior

Would prob grab E14 to have the dual m.2 slots, and bigger battery. The feel of the T14 is pretty much the same to me between T14 and E14...ended up getting a deal for $530 on a t14g5 refurb from Lenovo Outlet with 135u, 16gb, and 512gb NVMe and threw in a 4tb 990 Pro. It's a great daily but dont th

It is noticanle but completely fine. During inference, the memory controller sweats a lot, its temperature rises to ~55Celsius. So it creates a single warm spot on the keyboard. I have Intel U (meteorlake). For the inference on iGpu, choose AMD primarily because of the kernel graphic driver. Intel's

Exactly. Cooling system of T14 isn't sufficient for full utilization of those powerful H processors if one needs prolongued heavy duties. So I would expect throttling, noise. Either to choose P14s with H processor or T14 with 355 - my t14g5 with 165u still manages lots of prograns at once.

Thanks for understanding where I'm coming from. All the thinkpad keyboards are great. I haven't come across a bad keyboard. I wish you could try a t14g5 or newer. The change is subtle but when you use it to long form write for more than 15 mins, you'll feel is a subtle but good change. The keys push

I upgraded to an AMD T14G5 from a T430. Got it used for like 750 USD. It only had 2 battery cycles on it :D

I beg the question; Why wouldn't someone start with a T16 instead? I get price, but the hassle is quite a bit much, especially when certain parts may or may not be available from other vendors, forcing you to go through Lenovo. Also, how does the T14 Gen 5 AMD not work with the numpad, but work at t

go for the t14g5 if budget permits

Are you telling me that your university has no computer rooms with proper workstations for mechanical engineering software? If yes, go to another university if possible. As others have said, the T14G5 will work fine for smaller stuff, it will lack performance for larger projects that include multi b
